“Promenade Park has become a focal point as a world-class amenity for residents and visitors to enjoy,” said Mayor Tom Henry. “The public and private sectors came together to build a tremendous park that provides our community and region with a unique gathering place that also serves as the launch for future riverfront development efforts and additional quality of place opportunities. Promenade Park is helping us turn our three rivers into a destination place for recreation, arts, and cultural activities.”
Parks and Recreation Director Steve McDaniel added, “I would like to thank our Parks and Recreation staff, our design team, Riverworks Design Group, and construction manager, Hagerman Group for their vision, professionalism and commitment to making Promenade Park a world-class neighborhood park and destination. Without the support of Mayor Tom Henry, City Council and all of our generous funders, this accomplishment and these accolades would not have been possible.”
